President Donald Trump said he will announce his appointee to chair the Federal Reserve Board of Governors next week. “We’re paying far too much interest in the Fed,” Trump said. “The Fed rates are too high, unacceptably high. Trump is reportedly choosing between current Fed Governor Chris Waller, former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh, BlackRock Chief Investment Officer of Global Fixed Income Rick Rieder, and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett. Current Fed Chair Jerome Powell is serving until May, when his term expires.
